Why We Love This Deal

The 10-room Albert Cottage is one of the "best hotels on the Isle of Wight" (Country Living). Travelzoo Members give it an impressive 100% approval. Once owned by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, it was the home of their daughter Beatrice.

"An interesting character venue with great staff who were all very accommodating and helpful. Food was all very good and the bar and restaurant were particularly enjoyable spaces as was the outside terrace."

More Reasons to Go

  • Albert Cottage is a country house hotel with a boutique feel. Original Victorian tiled floors, coving and wood panels, and fireplaces create an atmosphere of period elegance.
  • The restaurant and bar has views of the garden. It is a fitting spot to indulge in Victorian afternoon tea.
  • The property is a stone's throw from Osborne House and entry is included. Walk through opulent state rooms, family suites, and "glorious gardens" (Country Living).
  • The scenic 68-mile Isle of Wight coastal path covers the entire circumference of the island. The section of the path that connects East Cowes and Ryde is a short stroll from the hotel.
*Ferry crossing reservations are made through The Albert Cottage. Car ferry crossing on both Red Funnel and Wightlink is for a standard car (up to 5 metres in length and 2.4 metres in height). In the event of ferry crossing cancellations, contact the hotel to secure alternative ferry crossing dates. Your voucher will be redeemed for the original booking date, but the hotel will honour the voucher up to 12 months from the original booking date at no extra charge.

**Visit the Osborne House website for opening times. English Heritage members receive a bottle of house wine in lieu of the tickets.
